Sura 22
Aya 58
58
وَالَّذينَ هاجَروا في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلوا أَو ماتوا لَيَرزُقَنَّهُمُ اللَّهُ رِزقًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُوَ خَيرُ الرّازِقينَ

Muhammad Asad

AND AS FOR those who forsake the domain of evil1 [and strive] in God's cause, and then are slain or die - God will most certainly provide for them a goodly sustenance [in the life to come]: for, verily, God - He alone - is the best of providers;
  • For this rendering of the phrase alladhi~na hajaru, see note 203 on 2:218. The subsequent mention of "those who strive in God's cause, and then are slain or die" connects with the reference, in verses 39-40, to God's permission to the believers to fight in defence of their faith and liberty. The extreme merit of the self-sacrifice involved is stressed in several Qur'anic passages, and particularly in 4:95-96; hence, it has also a bearing on the Day of Judgment spoken of in the preceding passage.
